African Americans were counted as 3 persons of the state for every 5 persons. This was so the states had more population and therefore more representatives.

<em><u>The Statement accurate about three-fifths compromise is that three out of every five African Americans were counted as residents of the nation. </u></em>

Further Explanations:

Three-Fifths Compromise was a pronouncement that discussed the representation of the slaves while determining the census so as to conclude the tax legislative representation. The argument was whether slaves should be totaled in the populace figures or not. The conclusion of the compromise was that three out of five slaves were counted as citizens and a third more seat was allotted to Southern States in the Congress.

The compromise was drafted by James Wilson and was then proposed in the convention on 11th June 1787 by Charles Pinckney. Prior to this, representation in the House as per the State’s population was already accepted but the compromise increases the representation of the slaves. Though after the demise of Reconstruction-era in 1877 the former slaves took advantage of the clauses of the compromise and obtained the benefit of representation in the legislature. The draft granted Southerners more voting power and inflated the number of Southern Democrats in the legislature.

The transcontinental railroad made it much easier and faster to bring goods and people across the continental United States. This made shipping easier and cheaper, and commerce increased drastically (Answer is B). 

The railroad made many people, namely capitalists, incredibly rich, and very influential in government. Corruption naturally occurred, but it was not so huge as to have a net negative effect on commerce, since the gains brought by the railroad were so great.

The railroad did not make all trading posts disappear. Although some trade posts that were not located on or near the railroad may have become less relevant, a large number of trade posts thrived thanks to the traffic brought by the railroad.
